I am adding what I think is a fun example of linguistic playfulness and a further illustration of inevitable linguistic irony in the vein of Chomskyan linguistics and generative grammar. It is the famous excrement passage from Watt in which Beckett masterfully manipulates linguistic syntax so chaotically (and ironically) as to induce the invention of the word "syntacticon" in literary criticism to describe his work in contrast to Joyce's liberal manipulation of the lexicon in Finnegans Wake. Try to parse these two sentence fragments meaningfully:

"And the poor old lousy old earth, my earth and my father's and my mother's and my father's father's and my mother's mother's and my father's mother's and my mother's father's and my father's mother's father's and my mother's father's mother's and my father's mother's mother's and my mother's father's' father's and my father's father's mother's and my mother's mother's father's and my father's father's father's and my mother's mother's mother's and other people's fathers' and mothers' and fathers' fathers' and mothers' mothers' and fathers' mothers' and mothers' fathers' and fathers' mothers' fathers' and mothers' fathers' mothers' and fathers' mothers' mothers' and mothers' fathers' fathers' and fathers' fathers' mothers' and mothers' mothers' fathers' and fathers' fathers' fathers' and mothers' mothers' mothers'. An excrement."
